In the context of disease vectoring research, we wonder if this insect could be relevant.
Dear Rik Clymans
Not according to my knowledge of the areas in which research conducted
A. lonicerae has been found on strawberries, blackberries, raspberries, currants and honeysuckle
Pls. find the attached files, may help in your research, good luck

No, but in 2016 was observed on strawberries cv. Kimberly cultivated under plastic tunel.

Hi
What pathogens could it be vectoring? Not aware of any viral vectoring capacity in natural hosts for Aleyrodes spp.
If fungal/bacterial, they could transfer from surface to surface as they have a broad enough host range (especially on Rosaceae) to try and feed on cherry. In fact, Evans (2008) has it on Prunus dulcis. But I have no personal observations from the genus (yet).
